The Area

Conveniently nestled between Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio, Wimberley is at the very heart of the Texas Hill Country. The historic town sits at the junction of Cypress Creek and the Blanco River, and is the premier destination for leisure and event travelers. Shopping, swimming, zip-lining, hiking, concerts, celebrations, art festivals, and relaxing are among the most popular reasons for overnight travelers coming to the area.

 

Hiking & Swimming

Situated on the Edwards Plateau, our nature trail passes through representatives of many of the habitats of the Texas Hill Country. Winding through our 5.5-acre property, the trail moves from dry rocky slopes down into cooler moister ravines. Many of the region's most interesting native plants can be seen here in a small area.

Several natural swimming holes are present in the immediate area, such as The Blue Hole, Jacob’s Well, and Hamilton Pool found nowhere else in the world except the Texas Hill Country. These refreshingly cool natural spring swimming spots are popular year-round and therefore, reservations are encouraged (especially during peak seasons).

The Dinosaur Trail

Approximately 200 million years ago, the property where the hotel now sits was the bed of a shallow sea. Midway along the trail is a fossilized oyster bed as a reminder. Depressions in the rock along the trail have been confirmed as dinosaur tracks. The Allosaurus (“other lizard”) roamed this area 150 million years ago, leaving his footprint for you to discover.

In Close Proximity

Wimberley is home to galleries, delicious restaurants, and one-of-a-kind shops with items that appeal to everyone. There are wineries, local breweries and distilleries, a zip line, an olive ranch, and a local farmer’s market every week as well.

In close proximity are San Marcos with its renowned Tanger outlet shopping center, Gruene and its historic music and dance venue, Gruene Hall, New Braunfels’ Germanic influences and river floating opportunities, Canyon Lake’s stellar kayaking and canoeing, and Dripping Springs blossoming winery and distillery scene.
